On November 18, the fifth graders participated in a Writing Celebration, where each of the girls presented their own personal narrative story to classmates and were joined by parents and family friends. One by one each of the girls had an opportunity to share their personal narrative story with the audience. Grade 5 language arts teacher, Karri Hill McFadden, shared with the group that the girls' curriculum currently had an emphasis on explicit detail, developed dialogue, and expressive personal reflections -- and surely the shared stories had all of that and more!
The audience of parents and close friends reveled with laughter and smiles as they listened to the range of stories, which all showcased the creativity and writing of the fifth graders. There were stories about jellyfish, going to school, riveting adventures, traveling to Paris, snow days, cooking, pulling a prank and even more. Every girl had a story to share with the group and at the end, cards were exchanged between the girls and parents to give a compliment to the fifth grade writers on a job well-done.
